A July jobs stimulus package could include bolstering SMEs, improving grants for businesses and credit lines while targetting thousands of young people locked out of work.

Taoiseach Micheal Martin confirmed that it would be a “sizeable package” to meet demands, including help reduce the 900,000 people now reliant on emergency pandemic payments.
